She's modeled for Victoria's Secret, graced the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and now she's on the cover of Maxim but Bregje Heinen never took modeling "seriously."

"I had been asked [to model] before, but I never took it seriously," the 24-year-old told Maxim. "My mom and dad looked into it, and it looked okay."

The Dutch-born beauty then decided to sign with Lions Model Management and she now travels the world as a model.

[I've been] all over Europe, the Maldives, Mauritius," she revealed.

Her recent shoot for Maxim took her to Iceland.

"The best light is at 10 P.M...It was so cold, and I was in a bikini, but everyone was so nice," she shared.

Heinen began modeling at age 15 when she was featured in a shoot for Elle Girl. She said she thought she would eventually leave the modeling world for a "real" career but she's still enjoying the ride nine years later.
